2020 Map of Wickiup Spring

About this map

The high-elevation boundary between Klamath and Lake counties defines this 2020 landscape, where the northern reaches of the Fremont National Forest meet the southern edge of the Deschutes National Forest. The terrain is characterized by volcanic prominences, including the towering Wart Peak and the distinctive silhouettes of Wickiup Butte and Wastina Butte. Water sources are sparse but critical in this environment, evidenced by isolated features like Pothole Spring and Smoke Creek Spring, which feed into small drainages such as Smoke Creek and Timothy Creek. In the northwest corner, Mowich Spring Butte stands near Lookout Point, indicating a landscape managed for fire surveillance and forest resources. This map captures the modern forest boundaries and topographic relief that have shaped the region's land use for generations of hunters, foresters, and outdoor enthusiasts.
